I just want a 2-3 inch lift so i probably wont have to do a t-case drop and i think my lines can extend enough for it but ill have to wait and see.

Actually I wouldn't bank on not getting driveline vibes... Whenever you lift your jeep to any height you are susceptible

FYI, an alternative to tcase drop is lift motor mounts. I installed some ironman motor mounts and has since not needed my tcase drop (actually you cant have both installed due to alignment). No vibes now and i dont have to worry about my motor mounts wearing out every 6 months

on a 91 he shouldn't have issues as long as he shims the rear pinion angle correctly. Later years have issues more often

Yeah. It would actually really be a problem for uptravel, could definitely run into issues with arms hitting the unibody
